Given the fundamental direction of Japan’s energy landscape, energy storage technology is set to play an integral part in Japan’s energy future due to energy storage technology’s role in both smart grid technology and in renewable energy’s integration into Japan’s energy landscape.
Japan’s energy storage landscape is widely distributed across the whole of Japan, geographically-speaking. Furthermore, Japan’s energy-storage landscape is characterized by its connection with Japan’s smart-grid and smart city landscape. a. Interactive Map of Japan’s Energy Storage Landscape
Also highly-relevant in shaping structural demand for energy storage Japan’s post-Fukushima energy market landscape, has been the rise of Japan’s Smart City plans. In principle, the smart city concept also needs energy storage in order to help regulate energy demand management systems.
Figure 16, is a snapshot of the interactive map of Japan’s large-scale energy storage geography, as well as its smart-grid and smart-city landscape. Overall, the map demonstrates that Japan has a visible overlap between its smart-grid infrastructure and the country’s energy storage sites.
Japan’s policy towards battery technology for energy storage systems is outlined in both Japan’s 2014 Strategic Energy Plan and the 2014 revision of the Japan Revitalization Strategy. In Japan’s Revitalization strategy, Japan has the stated goal to capture 50% of the global market for storage batteries by 2020. 2. The Energy Storage Sector a.
Compared to Japan’s peers in the G20 and the OECD, Japan’s market characteristics and energy landscape provide exceptionally ideal conditions not only for the energy storage sector as a whole, but also for the rise and implementation of battery-based energy storage in particular.
